Seals of approval

The battle over Mark Kirk's House seat takes a strange twist, with Robert Dold using a seal to make the case against Dan Seals.

Talk about political scandal! The animal in the "seal" add is clearly a sea lion (note in particular the external ears, which seals lack, and the way it "stands" on its flippers, whereas seals stay down on their bellies). Once this gets out this could seal the deal for Seals. The sea lion endorsement is huge.
